A refreshed US Democratic Party is taking a look back while it moves forward as its convention opens Monday night, with President Joe Biden preparing a valedictory speech and delegates revelling in the newfound energy that followed Vice President Kamala Harris's rise to the top of the ticket.
The national convention unfolding in Chicago this week holds particularly high stakes for Democrats. The party must finalise the unprecedented mid-campaign handoff from Biden to Harris and reintroduce the vice president to a divided country that's still making up its mind about her.
If successful, Democrats will slingshot Harris toward an election faceoff with Republican Donald Trump, whose comeback bid for the White House is viewed by the party as an existential threat to American principles. But a false step could hobble Harris at a moment when her candidacy has been enjoying a burst of money, momentum and even joy.
